Strengths
- +Enables nuclear power
- +Uranium ammo is very powerful
- +Nuclear fuel is the best vehicle fuel
Weaknesses
- -U-235 is extremely rare
- -Complex processing chain
- -Requires sulfuric acid for mining
Research Tips
- 1U-235 is very rare (0.7% chance per process).
- 2Kovarex enrichment process converts U-238 to U-235.
- 3Save up U-238 until Kovarex is available.
